       7. The light set of  claim 1 , wherein the light portion is configured to be tilted with respect to the holder, such that the light projecting from the top of the body portion can be angled with respect to the holder. 
     
     
       8. A light set, comprising:
 a light portion comprising:
 a body configured to retain one or more batteries, the body having a top portion having a circular enclosure; 
 a printed circuit board in the body containing one or more light-emitting diodes configured to emit light from the circular enclosure; 
 a first projection extending outward from an outer surface of the body; and 
 a second projection extending outward from an outer surface of the body, the second projection being diametrically opposite to the first projection; and 
 
 a holder for holding the light portion, comprising:
 a rear portion; 
 a left wing extending from and perpendicular to the rear portion, the left wing having an outer wall and an inner wall, the inner wall having a first opening at a top portion of the left wing leading into a first recess that does not project into the outer wall; and 
 a right wing extending from and perpendicular to the rear portion, the right wing having an outer wall and an inner wall, the inner wall having a second opening at a top portion of the right wing leading into a second recess that does not project into the outer wall; 
 
 wherein the first projection is secured to the first recess through the first opening and the second projection is secured to the second recess through the second opening to hold the light portion within the holder; 
 wherein the first and second openings are configured to allow the light portion to be easily removable from the holder. 
 
     
     
       9. The light set of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 an adhesive including a removable film provided on the rear portion of the holder.
